On the website you can see.

1 BTC = $7444.2963

is it posible to get that value from the api?

dparlevliet commented 7 years ago

The Bittrex website uses the API call https://bittrex.com/Api/v2.0/pub/currencies/GetBTCPrice -- we don't currently have this as a standalone function but we can add it.

Notes for implementation:

Nice.

How did you find it? I cannot find the API V2 documentation anywhere

dparlevliet commented 7 years ago

Correct, there's no documentation because it's not yet officially release - I've been using the Chrome developer tools.

hey dparlevliet, This is old but was wondering if you could guide me on how you figured out the endpoints of the api. Thought I would try and ask! Thanks ahead for the library!

In chrome->inspect (on bittrex.com ofc), go to network tab, reload page (filter on XHR and fetch) and you'll see it right there.
